Jenny is based in Somerset and creates beautiful embroidered textiles and accessories, consisting of cushions, bags, magnets, lavender bags, badges and compact mirrors, all made by hand with a combination of machine embroidery and applique so each item will be slightly different. I am lucky to be stocking these items in my shop and they arrived today, I just thought I would show you some of them!
Well, I will have to go and give Fin his meds and get him off to bed! (He thinks that just because he is off school he can stay up! - not likely!!!) Have a nice evening everyone and enjoy your weekend .
